BLURB.
I hate Harry Stone.
Before I’d even met the selfish former pro hockey player turned CEO, he was at the top of my shit list.
The entire city of Chicago thinks he’s God’s gift to humanity, but I know the truth.
He knocked up my best friend and then ditched her when she needed him most.
She got sick after that, and before she passed away, she chose me to raise her newborn daughter.
I just need Harry to sign away his rights to the little girl who means everything to me.
Unfortunately, it’s not quite that simple.
To stay in his daughter’s life, I end up moving in with the man I detest. Loathe. Despise.
Hating Harry Stone is the easiest thing I’ve ever done.
But slowly discovering a way to not hate him?
Now that, I didn’t see coming.
Pompous Player is a secret baby/enemies to lovers/sports romance inspired by Cocky Bastard.

4 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Predictable, but very cute
In Pompous Player, Brenda Rothert gives her readers the story of Harry Stone (a nod to Night Court maybe?) and Winter, the woman that hates him with a passion. In fact, while I've heard the word before, she has made it my new favorite-$hitbag. I don't know why, but I loved the way she used it and I giggled every time.
The blurb says it all. Winter isn't a fan of the handsome, rich and pompous ass Harry Stone. He did her friend wrong and all she wants is to get what's hers and move on, her best friends daughter. Of course, the minute Harry finds out he has a child, it's game on.
Harry is set in his ways. He's a man of integrity, however always let a woman know her place in his life...on the not so serious side. Anybody he dated knew he wasn't into long term, including Winter's friend Mallory, Now we have little Avery with no mother and Winter stepping in to fill the role. Permanently if she has her way. Of course Harry isn't going to make that easy and his proposal of a living arrangement changes everything.
Even though he's a complete $hitbag, Harry steps up and it was sweet to see. Even the slighted Winter realized he wasn't the man she once thought he was. As much as she didn't want to admit it, things were changing. While I wasn't an instant fan of Winter and her maturity level, she really grew on me.
The book is well written and even with such a heavy storyline, funny as all get out. Winter's hate for Harry was very real and she didn't mind expressing it whatsoever. Pompous Player reads as a standalone and is a nice addition to the Cocky Hero Club.
